Study Notes
Early Innovations in Dental Ceramics
- 1789: The first porcelain tooth material patented by de Chemant and Duchateau.
- Original product improved upon existing "mineral paste teeth," yet was not viable for individual use due to attachment issues.
- 1808: Fonzi developed a "terrometallic" porcelain tooth secured by platinum pins or a frame.
Introduction and Commercial Production
- 1817: Planteau introduced porcelain teeth to the United States.
- 1822: Peale developed a baking process for porcelain teeth in Philadelphia.
- 1825: Commercial production of porcelain teeth commenced by Stockton.
- 1837: Ash in England enhanced the porcelain tooth design.
- 1844: S.S. White Company founded by Stockton's nephew, advancing design and mass production.
Advancements in Ceramic Crowns
- 1903: Dr. Charles Land introduced one of the first ceramic crowns using a platinum foil matrix and high-fusing feldspathic porcelain.
- Initial crowns had superior aesthetics but poor flexural strength led to fractures.
- Advanced feldspathic porcelain required stronger cores for reliable all-ceramic crown production.
Research and Development in Porcelain Formulations
- 1959: Weinstein's patent described formulations of feldspathic porcelains with various expansion coefficients, enhancing compatibility with existing alloys.
- 1963: VITA Zahnfabrik launched the first commercial porcelain, recognized for aesthetic qualities.
- Ceramco porcelain by Dentsply Sirona later introduced with broader thermal expansion compatibility.
Innovations in Strengthening Ceramics
- 1965: McLean and Hughes developed fracture-resistant all-porcelain crowns made with dental aluminous core ceramic, containing 40-50 wt% Al2O3 fillers.
- Feldspathic porcelain veneer required for acceptable aesthetics due to the core material's chalky appearance.
- Fracture rate for anterior crowns noted at 2%, but 15% for molar crowns using aluminous porcelain.
Continued Improvements and New Materials
- Advances in ceramic composition and manufacturing processes led to better fit and fracture-resistant all-ceramic crowns.
- 1984: Adair and Grossman demonstrated an all-ceramic system with controlled glass crystallization called Dicor, later updated to Dicor MGC.
- Early 1990s: Pressable glass-ceramic IPS Empress introduced, containing about 34 vol% leucite; further enhanced with IPS Empress 2 in the late 1990s boasting 70 vol% lithia disilicate crystals.
- Modern innovations include systems based on Al2O3 and zirconia with efforts to create less abrasive veneering ceramics.
Future Direction
- Discussion will cover MC systems, all-ceramic systems, ceramic-strengthening mechanisms, and indications for ceramic usage in greater detail.
